SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 785,240, dated March 21,1905.

Application filqd fiaptcmber 29, 1899. Serial No. 732.107.

To all whom it mag /concern:

Be it known that I, Gusmr TRINKLER, a

eror of Russia, and a resident of St. Peters urg, Russia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Thermic Motors, of which the following is a specification. v

The devices forming the subject-matter of any tal, or vertical en 'ines. Figures 1, 2, and 3 e accompanymg'drawings show the apphcation of parts of my invention to a four cycle engine for liquid fuel.

Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view. Fig. 2 is a iorizontal sectional view. Fig, 3 is a rear view of the cylinder. Figs. 4:, and 5 are engine. Fig.

powdered fuel. Fig. 8 is a detail view. Figs.

9 and 10 are views of a two-cycle engine.

A "is a cylinder in A is the piston-rod, 'and B the cross-head.

- C is the connecting-rod D ,the crank-shaft serving to su port the engine.

B is the cy inder-head, containing the inlet-valve H and'the exhaust-valve J.

- Air enters into the engine through the port L. The products of combustion escape through the port M.

The valves H and J are controlled by levers O O, acted upon by cams on the distributing-shaft P, which makes a half number driving-shaft D. f The shaft P is driven by this shaft D by means of a gear and by the intermediate shaft Q.

N is the usual governor, (regulator,) act: ing upon the controlling device P by means of the connections P.

The liquid fuel is supplied by the feedingconduit R and runs through the device P into the port E, accumulating there until the valve F is opened.- The valve F opens dun ing the suction period simultaneously with the air-waive H, which latter actuates the former by means of a lateral arm S. The liquid accumulated in the port E is at once be applied to engines of kind, as four-cycle, two-cycle, horizon I in the Fig.6 1s a view of a, vertical 7 1s a view of an engine for which the piston or sliding with a great s eed;

' sucked in through the valve F and flows into the smuous conduit H J K. This valveF is shown on a larger scale on Fig. 4. At the compression period the atmospheric air introduced into the engine by the valve H penetrates through the equilibrating-port M into the chamber 0 above and below the piston D, which remains stationary. Thus the chamber 0 constitutes a part of the compression-chamber of the cylinder A, and at the end of the compression the pressure therein is equal to' the pressure in the cylinder A. For instance, when the air in the cylinder has been compressed to thirty 'atmospheres the ressure in the chamber 0 will be also equal to thirty atmospheres and the li uid conduit H J K will remain in e' m rium; but at thesame time the pistonl), actuated by the lever T,-Fig. 3, sinks down, shuts the equilibrating-port M, and produces in the chamber 0 an excess of pressure.,which forces the liquid from the conduit H J K into the combustion-chamber of the cylinder..

The ignition in owing to the adiabatically-compressed air. The lever T is actuated by a cam V by means of a link W. A spring U returns the leverto its normal position. the cam V such a construction as to start the movement of the lever T and the piston D In this case the feeding of the liquid uel is very quicklyperformed, and the combustion will be instantaneous and practically an explosion. However, one can give the cam another construction, so as'to regulate the feeding of fuel in order to'cause the combustion to proceed gradually, thus preventing asudden rise of pressure.

The liquid-controlling device P is shown on. the separate detail Fig. 5. The liquid-is caused to flow R, Fig. 1, from an elevated tank and therefrom through an outlet S, whose crosssection may be modified by means of a ical spindle '1, upon which acts the speedregulator l Fig. 1, of the engine through the connections P The higher is lifted this spindle T the moreliquid flows through the opening S, controlled by this spindle,and

The cylinder A is closed at the rlght hand end and serves as a pump for the air, which when the piston moves to the left is sucked through the valve right-hand chamber of the cylinder. Simul H and fills theeasily under stood that the above-described construction taneously compression is produced in the lefthand chamber, and when the piston reaches the left dead-point the combustion begins.
